Hague-Dick, Archaeological site in La Hague, France.
The Hague-Dick stretches over six kilometers from Herqueville to Éculleville, featuring earthworks with bases seven to eight meters wide and heights up to seven meters.
Excavations between 1951 and 2004 uncovered artifacts from the Bronze Age through Middle Ages, with carbon dating indicating construction between 900 and 800 BC.
The structure name combines Norse elements, where Hague refers to pasture enclosures and Dick derives from terms meaning ditch or earthwork construction.
The most accessible section of the earthwork lies northwest of Beaumont near Château de Beaumont, displaying defensive platforms and a preserved glacis.
Duke Anne de Joyeuse ordered partial destruction of the structure in the 16th century, yet 2.6 kilometers of visible earthwork remain for modern study.
